“By minute two or three of our season premiere, I think the vast majority of our questions have been answered,” Robert Kirkman, the show’s creator, said about the upcoming season, “and five or six more have been presented, so you’re very much going to be invested, well-informed, and ready for the ride that we’re going to take you on.”

“We’re really earning our rating this season,” Andrew said. “There are families that watch it together, but just so it’s on the record, guys—it’s a grown-up show this season.”
